1
Toast the Bread
Begin by toasting the two slices of bread until they are golden brown and crispy.
2
Prepare the Avocado
While the bread is toasting, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
3
Mash the Avocado
Use a fork to mash the avocado to your desired level of creaminess. You can leave it chunky or make it smooth.
4
Add Lemon Juice
Stir in the lemon juice to the mashed avocado to enhance the flavor and prevent browning.
5
Season the Avocado
Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the mashed avocado. Mix well.

6
Spread the Avocado
Once the bread is toasted, evenly spread the mashed avocado mixture onto each slice.
7
Prepare the Toppings
Halve the cherry tomatoes and chop the fresh basil.
8
Add Toppings
Top the avocado toast with the halved cherry tomatoes and sprinkle the fresh basil on top.
9
Drizzle with Olive Oil
Drizzle the olive oil over the toppings for added flavor.
